Investigation Summary
Some employees of an electrical contractor were using a digger-derrick to set utility poles. While an employee was using controls located at the back of the truck to position a pole in its hole, the top part of the elbow on the boom of the digger-derrick came too close to a 13.2-kilovolt overhead power line. Current arced to the boom, electrocuting the employee. (The truck also ignited and burned.)
